Store two Queries result in third variable

Question

What\'s wrong with this code:

Visual Basic 6.0 With access 2007

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Sell_tbl, Stock_Bottle, res As String


Sell_tbl =         


        

Answer 1

The reason for the error is because of statement:

s = ((Sell_tbl) - (Stock_Bottle))

If you look above that line, you are setting two string variables to SQL -- which is text not numeric. You need to open recordsets with those sql strings, then get the results, then perform the math.
